Woman talking to her higher self

my heart feels like it's breaking...
and I didn't even know that a single heart could break so many times.

my heart must be have been splintered into thousands and thousands
of tiny pieces by now.
I would not be able to think of how many times my heart was broken.

and when I was a child I thought it could only happen once.
and by a person called your "true love"...
how wrong was I?
because my heart was never broken by
my true love.

it was broken by love.
why?
because love hurts.
why ?
because it needs to hurt.
why?
so that we can feel the balance of love.
why?
so that we can know the yin and the yang of love.
why?
because otherwise we would not know love.

But my heart hurts so bad.
what if this time it doesn't stick back together
and I always feel this pain?
No! that won't happen.
why not?
because your heart is one...one heart.

so there is no need to be afraid to love?
that's right.
